On June 27 2014, ACE President, Luciano Lazzari participated in Chicago in the 13th International Presidents’ Forum, organised by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). This forum brings together Presidents of a dozen national, regional, and international architectural associations, along with the Presidents of the U.S. collateral organizations (NCARB, NAAB, ACSA & AIAS) to discuss current issues in the profession.
On this occasion, the Architects’ Council of Europe, along with 11 other international organisations representing architects across the globe, reaffirmed the following three important principles:
1. The importance of global collaboration to exchange knowledge and information to allow architects to act in an effective and coordinated manner to respond to the significant challenges facing societies across the world.
2. The leadership role that architects must play in advocating and implementing governance by design and design with purpose to address the social, environmental, cultural and ethical issues of our time.
3. The responsibility of the architects in designing to urgently address climate change, carbon reduction and resilience of buildings for the benefit of society and built environment of the future.
Learn more on the International Presidents’ Forum on the AIA website, and read the Chicago Architects’ Declaration on the ACE website.
